The Irreverent Guide to Everything Under the Sun has this to say on the subject of Modern Art:
Modern art, much like punk music, is what happens when people stop having standards. It is an excuse for the lazy and untalented to have their work displayed and make a lot of money.
Someone must stop this at once.
Artists are people with artistic talent. The ability to compose a great piece of music is talent. The ability to cry on cue is talent. The ability to fling paint randomly at a canvas is not talent. People who do fling paint randomly at a canvas for a living are lazy hacks, and people who call this "art" are their enablers.
